Description of problem:
After building glade2-2.6.0-1.src.rpm on a RHEL-4 machine and installing the produced glade2-2.6.0-1.i386.rpm, running the command "glade-2" produces a blank palette and the program hangs.
Same issue if the SRPM is built on an x86_64 machine.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glade2-2.6.0-1.src.rpm
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild --rebuild glade2-2.6.0-1.src.rpm
Additional info:
running an strace when starting produces this continuos loop:
open("/home/testuser/.icons/Bluecurve/cursors/xterm", O_RDONLY) = 16
fstat(16, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=5020, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2a98c3c000
read(16, "Xcur\20\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\3\0\0\0\2\0\375\377\30\0\0\0004\0"..., 4096) = 4096
lseek(16, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(16, "Xcur\20\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\3\0\0\0\2\0\375\377\30\0\0\0004\0"..., 4096) = 4096
close(16) = 0
munmap(0x2a98c3c000, 4096) = 0
I went to the gnome.org site for glade2 and noticed the following line:
Fixed bug that could cause an infinite loop on startup.
IN:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade/2.6/glade-2.6.8.news
So I downloaded the file:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade/2.6/glade-2.6.8.tar.bz2
and modified the spec file so the version is:
Version: 2.6.8
then rebuilt and installed the rpm ... it seems to work fine with this version of glade2.
Obviously, this needs to be tested.

The component this request has been filed against is not planned for inclusion
in the next update. The decision is based on weighting the priority and number
of requests for a component as well as the impact on the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux user-base: other components are considered having higher priority and the
number of changes we intend to include in update cycles is limited.
